Together We Rise

[Intro] Soft dawn breaks, the crowd starts to hum We lift our cheers for what we've become A quiet promise in the morning light Together we rise, we hold on tight [Verse 1] We carried the weight of finals and fears Yet friendship turned those doubts to years Annabelle’s courage led the way, so bright Asantewaa’s heart turned storms to light Dorothy’s steady hand kept us aligned Phillis’s laughter kept our feet in time Theresa’s grace painted the skies with gold Now every step feels brave and bold [Pre-Chorus] When the road gets long and the doubts return We’ll hear the chorus of the ones we learn to yearn [Chorus] Together we rise, heart to heart, side by side We beat the drum of hope, let courage be our guide We carry the memories, the lessons we chose And look to the future with a mighty rose Together we rise, united through the years Through every challenge faced, through laughs and tears We are the legacy of dreams we chose Forever, together we rise [Verse 2] We traced the maps of late-night streetlight dreams Turned every setback into brighter schemes Annabelle’s resolve kept fear at bay Asantewaa’s voice showed us the way Dorothy’s kindness taught us to forgive Phillis’s faith in us helped us live Theresa’s hope lit every path we tread With open hearts we forge ahead [Pre-Chorus] When the road gets long and the doubts return We’ll hear the chorus of the ones we learn to yearn [Chorus] Together we rise, heart to heart, side by side We beat the drum of hope, let courage be our guide We carry the memories, the lessons we chose And look to the future with a mighty rose Together we rise, united through the years Through every challenge faced, through laughs and tears We are the legacy of dreams we chose Forever, together we rise [Bridge] Hand in hand, we build a brighter dawn A chorus of friends, forever drawn From every trial, we found our light In every goodbye, we claim the right [Chorus] Together we rise, heart to heart, side by side We beat the drum of hope, let courage be our guide We carry the memories, the lessons we chose And look to the future with a mighty rose Together we rise, united through the years Through every challenge faced, through laughs and tears We are the legacy of dreams we chose Forever, together we rise [Outro] So rise we will, with the sun on our faces We walk on forward through open spaces This bond we forged will never fade Together we rise, today and always
